Freescale Semiconductor India launched 'Design With Freescale' (DWF),
part of a global training program created to inspire and equip design engineers
with the latest semiconductor technologies. The company announced a series of
training sessions and workshops across Pune, New Delhi and Bangalore.
Registrations are open and the programs are scheduled for August 12-13 in Pune,
August 19-20 in New Delhi and August 28 in Bangalore.

“It is our endeavor to assist young engineers and students to adopt new
technologies. India is now recognized for its prowess in cutting-edge design and
world-class talent pool. With India moving up the design value chain, we believe
engineers will benefit immensely from the hands-on approach of these training
programs,” said Sanjeev Keskar, Country Manager-Sales, Freescale
Semiconductor India. “These programs have worked well globally, and we hope
participants in India will be inspired to test the boundaries of creativity and
innovation,” added Keskar.

The training programs are scheduled to cover various products including
Microcontrollers, Ethernet and USB-based applications, i.MX processors and Power
Architecture micro processors, which are used in applications across consumer,
industrial, wireless, and networking sectors.

The participation is subject to a registration fee of Rs 1,000 for the
two-day training. Each registered participant will receive a complementary
development tool kit worth approximately Rs 1,000. In addition, Freescale also
plans to provide a free development tool worth approximately Rs 5,000 to each
participant that confirms a new project based on Microcontroller platforms
within six months.
